There is no work going on that I know of to improve the gregorian package in MusiXTeX. It is mentioned very very rarely on the mailing list, and when it is, it is usually someone proclaiming that Opustex is better for Gregorian music. (The Icking Archive does not support Opustex).
If you do improve the package, I would appreciate your making your work available for inclusion in the archive (either contact me personally or the list). --Don Simons > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Elie > Roux > Sent: Wednesday, December 28, 2005 1:41 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [TeX-music] Gregorian chant in MusiXTeX > > > Hello, > > I'm a french student of the ENST Bretagne (a high school), and I must > work on a 6 month project dealing with gregorian chant in informatic. > I'd like first to thank you for your work, because MusiXTeX is a very > powerful tool.
